Quilt Exhibition Part 3.

Denise Lee made this small wall hanging "Holy Cow," in a class at Symposium last year.

Illusion by Rosemary Hancett.

Melanie Martin made this very smart overnight size bag.

Ruth Wall made this bright small quilt from Australian fabrics.

There are lovely colours in Nan Hawker's Disappearing 9 patch.

Joan Waterson's lovely grey batik quilt actually called Twisted Ivy got nicknamed the bastard quilt, cause every time anyone mentioned that quilt to her she would say it was such a bastard to sew . ( we all know not to use that pattern! )

This is the little display (of our charity work ) I put together out of the remaining quilts, wall hangings; soft toys; 30 clutch balls ( in the hammock ) and soft toys. We had to try and cover up some old toilet signs and awful markings on the wall.

About Me

Quilting is a wonderful hobby for me. I love the beautiful fabric and colours - my artistic side comes alive.
I have lived in Te Puna near Tauranga since 1978, where my husband ( R ) and I own a small orchard where we grow Kiwifruit and Avocados for export. We have a large garden and grow many other fruit, nuts and vegetables. When I was young I was a teacher and particularly liked teaching art. I have also worked in the Kiwifruit Industry in Quality Control and Auditing. I love to create and am currently passionate about patchwork and quilting. I sew by hand and using my Bernina Aurora 440 machine.
